G42 2-series shifter/centre console replacement?
The 2022 G42 230i (first photo) had a traditional shift lever in the centre console, which allowed for manual shifting via the paddles or the gear lever. The 2023+ G42 230i (second photo) has changed to a switch for shifting gears, with the only option for manual shifting being the paddles behind the wheel. I of course don't mind using paddles, it's very convenient, but sometimes using the gear lever is fun.
Does anybody know if it would be possible to switch out a 2022 centre console onto a 2023 or newer 230i? Are they plug and play? Would the car even have a way of detecting manual shifts done with the traditional lever on the models that usually have a switch shifter?
I'm curious about if this replacement on a 2024 230i would be possible and if it would be fully functional. Any info about previous experiences doing something like this is appreciated!
